November Update

Dear Ministry Partners,

Since our last eNewsletter we have had some amazing adventures.  In August we went on a long journey to the United States. We drove thousands of miles over the course of seven weeks. We spoke at least a dozen times in various churches. We had the priviledge to reconnect with many of the people who pray for us and support us. Some of the highlights we will put in pictures below.  It was a very blessed time for us. The kids travelled so well and were such a blessing for us!  We were so encouraged by the warm welcomes and meaningful quality time we got to spend with our friends, family and ministry partners.  Of course the time our boys got to spend with their cousins was extremely precious.

Within 24 hours of returning to Israel we were already busy with the first major Fall Ministry event. It was a large banquet to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This event was a huge success as many non-believers came and had the chance to hear the gospel through music, dance and personal interactions.  We followed that event with a series of other events, concerts, worship nights, Bible Studies and English classes. Basically, we hit the ground running!  In the midst of our busy ministry schedule, we had some challenges. The Anti-Missionary organization Yad LeAchim continues to send protestors to try and disrupt our activities (Pictures below). What is truly amazing is how many conversations we had with non-believers because of these protestors! 

As November started, we geared up for the first of a kind visit from one of our supporting churches. As a newly licensed Tour Guide, Jason was able to take this wonderful group around and show them the beautiful and meaningful sites of Israel. We traveled nearly the entire length and breadth of the land from the far North to the farthest south. We climbed mountains (in a car) and explored the seas (underwater). It was an amazing time and a great first experience for all.  Jason learned a lot by leading this FIRST tour group on his "shakedown" tour.

A Terrible Tragedy occurred last night.

  Here is the background A terrorist walked into a synagogue (a house of worship) and started shooting innocent civilians as they were getting up to leave the building at the end of the service. This incident falls on the heels of other terrorist attacks and a growing movement towards violence led by extremists.  Earlier in the day, Hamas (the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip and it's 2 million people) fired a rocket at civilian populations in Israel.  Over the past several months, they have restrained themselves and others, but the fact that they claimed responsibility for the terror and rocket attack seems to indicate that they are now looking for an escalation.   What are False Equivalencies. One of the common and false responses to such attacks is to make false equivalencies. It is often said in the global press, that "the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other for centuries," or "they Arabs are responding to Jewish aggression." These false equ

Prayer Requests regarding the recent uptick in Rocket fire, Riots and terror attacks

Dear friends and ministry partners, In recent days there have been several rocket attacks at Israel from the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and in Southern Lebanon. As of the writing of this prayer request about 80 rockets have been fired.  On the one hand, this is a major escalation, yet on the other hand, there is always some expected escalation around the Islamic holiday of Ramadan.  For the entire month, we normally experience riots and other violence with terror organizations often calling for terror attacks against civilians. This year we have already experienced a large increase in terror attacks and the Israeli security establishment has been working hard to thwart terror continuously.  They stated in the news recently that they have been able to thwart over 200 planned terror attacks since the beginning of the year.  The success of their efforts is apparent, but not as apparent as their failure to thwart terror attacks.  This morning two sisters in their 20's were

Important Update! Significant News to report!

Image
Dear Prayer Partners, Jason and Janice Rose We are really excited to share some incredibly amazing news! This update is a bit longer than usual, but our big news is here at the beginning!  We are incredibly blessed by your prayerful support of our ministry. God has truly expanded and stretched us, as we have grown into the ministers that we are today. Through that growth, the Lord also expanded the team of people that minister alongside us. When we relocated to Israel in 2015, Mitch Glaser (President of Chosen People Ministries) asked us to start a Messianic Center in Ramat Gan. We had previously started a Messianic Center in South Tel Aviv, but the area grew dangerous over time. Although we loved the facility, we were renting it and that provided a measure of instability. It was certainly what we needed at the time. We learned a lot. The center in Ramat Gan was the fruit of our education. We learned a lot about what worked and what didn't and that certain ministry programs should
